    Yes sourcing your argument from what you want to believe is always superior to what is actually happening in reality. - as @Gwad just proved

    Well they haven't misrepresented their position so much that they have to be up front about being an opinion piece, to be in good legal standing.

    Its obviously an opinion disguised as a FACT CHECK. Typical from the lying left. Quite common really

    I take it you don't have any actual comments on the accuracy of the WSJ article so you'll just keep burrowing down your rabbit hole

    My FACTS say your FACTS are not FACTUAL

    Media Bias Fact Check: Incompetent or Dishonest?
    By James D Agresti
    April 24, 2017

    As Just Facts grows in prominence and reputation, an increasing number of scholars, major organizations, and eminent people have cited and recognized the quality work of Just Facts. With this higher profile, Just Facts has also been subject to deceitful attacks. A recent example of such comes from “Media Bias Fact Check,” an “independent media outlet” that claims to be “dedicated to educating the public on media bias and deceptive news practices.”

    In the opening paragraph of her review of Just Facts, Media Bias Fact Check contributor Faith Locke Siewert writes:

    On their article http://www.justfacts.com/racialissues.asp#affirmative, they use the Richard Sander’s (law professor at UCLA) essay “A Systematic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools.” To support much of their hypothesis, obviously against affirmative action (seeming also to support the notion of black intellectual abilities being inferior).

    Those two sentences contain three demonstrable falsehoods:

    “A Systemic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools” is not just an essay. It is a peer-reviewed journal paper that was published in the Stanford Law Review. Big difference.
    Just Facts does not use this paper to support “much of” its research on affirmative action. The research contains more than 60 footnotes, and this paper is just one of them. Just Facts’ full research on racial issues has 498 footnotes, and this paper is two of them.

    Just Facts does not offer any “hypothesis” in this research, much less “support the notion of black intellectual abilities being inferior.” To the contrary, the opening section of Just Facts’ research on racial issues covers the topic of science and presents multiple facts that challenge that notion.

    The flagrant and simplistic nature of these bogus critiques suggests that Media Bias Fact Check is either inept and/or dishonest.

    Is it an opinion or a fact that stupid site (Tax Policy Center) is funded by the Liberal Brookings Institute (a Liberal think-tank that sold its soul to Qatar) and the Liberal Urban Institute? Simple question.

    Your ability to not see the difference between actual facts and opinions based on those facts should I guess be understood given your cognitive abilities displayed around here...

    RIGHT-CENTER BIAS
    These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

    In summary, this is a factual website from a sourcing standpoint and impressively researched. It does however convey a right leaning bias through story selection that is more favorable toward conservative causes and more negative toward liberal policy.

    ----

    right or left center is just means extreme right or left? I'm just going off your previous comments Race.

    You guys seem really emotionally invested in your positions. Sorry If I have caused you discomfort. The risk seemed worth while as you seem to lean on each other for validation when presented with information that conflicts with your interpretation of reality.

    I could care less about fact-check sites on either side. I've asked several times now...is the Tax Policy Center funded or not funded by the Liberal Brookings Institute (who sold their soul to Qatar) and the Liberal Urban Institute?

    Simple question...you are the one having a meltdown avoiding it...

    Worse yet it is also funded by the Ford Foundation which is a wacko liberal organization. If Henry Ford could see the foundation he started looking like it does today he would roll over in his grave.

    I find it funny you can't refute the facts. And you don't like the facts. So you try to paint the source as awful based on some donations they receive. Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has donated to them too.

    If you only had the same scrutiny over who donates to your politicians.

    That being said. Refute the facts.

    Did you FACT CHECK that?

    Who is you guys? Is this more us and them thinking? Are you so insecure in your own faith that you feel the need to denigrate the OTHER?

    I've yet to find anyone who claims the climate doesn't change, that's probably the one group with fewer members than the white supremacist club.

    HondoFS jumps in to reduce the IQ of the Left further. That is a general statement...what facts exactly?

    The fact some idiots in a Liberal Tax Foundation think (i.e. not a fact...a theory, and a shitty one at that) government revenues would have magically improved if we kept the same tax policy EVEN THOUGH that same policy did not cause inflation-adjusted revenue increases the previous 2 years? And by their own admission after Trump's tax changes the inflation-adjusted revenue kept the overall same trend it was on before the changes?

    Or the fact that Liberal organizations fund the Tax Policy Center because they like to ignore the macro-economic impact of tax changes on revenue?

    Some no-name running a "media-bias" website in his basement doesn't somehow declare things as "facts" that aren't...just because you (and unfortunately others) aren't swift enough to know the difference doesn't change that. And for people with a clue (i.e. not you)...they know all models (economic or otherwise) are wrong and don't result in "facts", but some models are useful. And the Tax Policy Center's tax models don't fall in the latter category...

    Oh, you mean the vampire-faced guy who supported Hitler and had the high honor of receiving a Nazi medal?



    That scumbag? Water is wet, nothing has changed. The Nazis were the wacko 'liberals' of that time period. Ford was a wacko 'liberal.' That he is still being praised today as someone to emulate is really baffling.
